No. 11 Texas Tech eases past Texas Rio Grande Valley, 71-46

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Some rust was inevitable for 11th-ranked Texas Tech after eight days off, and the Red Raiders looked sluggish for a half against Texas-Rio Grande Valley.
Then Texas Tech flipped the script in the second half with defense, something it's done plenty this season.
Jarrett Culver scored 19 points, first-time starter Deshawn Coprew added 13 points and 10 rebounds and the Raiders pulled away from Texas-Rio Grande Valley for a 71-46 victory Friday night in their final tuneup before Big 12 Conference play.
Culver and the Red Raiders defended to their standards in the second half, turning a close game into a rout with 12 minutes to go as Texas Tech bounced back from its first loss of the season, 69-58 to top-ranked Duke in New York on Dec. 20.
The Red Raiders (11-1) open the Big 12 season Wednesday at West Virginia.
Terry Winn led the Vaqueros (8-7) with 17 points.
Texas Tech led 38-31 at halftime but didn't play the same level of defense that has been its staple this season. Rio Grande Valley shot 46 percent (12 of 26) before halftime against the Red Raiders, who came in leading the country in field-goal defense at 33 percent.
Things changed early in the second half. The Vaqueros missed 11 of their first 12 shots in the period.
"They took it up a notch," Rio Grande Valley coach Lew Hill said. "When you can't score against a good team, eventually they're going to start scoring."
Brandone Francis made two straight baskets, Culver knocked down a jumper and on the next possession grabbed a rebound of his missed 3-pointer and zipped a pass to Coprew for a backdoor layup.
That series of events pushed the Raiders' lead to 52-35 and prompted a timeout by Hill. The Vaqueros shot 17 percent (4 of 23) in the second half and finished the game at 33 percent.
"We've proven we can be a great team defensively," Texas Tech coach Chris Beard said. "Offensively, I'm pleased. We're a work in progress and we have this huge ceiling that we haven't even touched, and then defensively we continue to be committed to our identity and that's being hard to score against."
There were seven lead changes and four ties in the initial 7:14 before Tech threatened to blow the game open late in the first half.
Rio Grande Valley made seven of its first nine shots. Winn led the way with seven early points, the last one a baseline jumper that tied the score 17-17.
Moments later, Greg Bowie hit a 3-pointer, was fouled and made the free throw to pull the Vaqueros back even at 21-21. But Culver tipped in a missed 3-pointer to ignite a 13-4 surge that ended with him hitting a jump shot from the baseline to beat the shot clock for a 34-25 lead.
As has been the case on a regular basis this season, Culver was at the heart of several Raider spurts.
"They made some tough shots," Hill said. "They've got a pro in Culver and sometimes when we played good defense, he just made a play."
Rio Grande Valley: The Vaqueros lost for the third time in four games but showed that their pressure defense can create problems, which will come in handy against Western Athletic Conference foes.
Texas Tech: Once the Red Raiders found their defensive rhythm, Rio Grande Valley struggled to score and managed only 15 second-half points.
STATS OF THE NIGHT
Tech converted 13 second-half turnovers by the Vaqueros into 13 points. They also dominated on the offensive glass, turning nine offensive boards into 13 second-chance points.
TIP-INS
Coprew got the start because senior forward Norense Odiase sat out after what Beard said were injections in his hip to help manage chronic pain. ... Beard opted for a different look to start the second half, with Francis part of the five who took the floor. ... New Texas Tech football coach Matt Wells was at the game and was shown to the crowd on the big screen at halftime but wasn't introduced.
Rio Grande Valley: The Vaqueros head west for two games, starting Thursday night at UC Irvine.
Texas Tech: With most of the nonconference schedule done, the Red Raiders jump into the rigors of Big 12 play at West Virginia on Wednesday.

Briscoe Battles Back to Top-10 Finish at Iowa
Newton, Iowa (July 28, 2018) — Roush Fenway Racing driver Chase Briscoe fought his way back onto the lead lap and to a 10th-place finish in the waning laps of a double-overtime finish in Saturday's NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Iowa Speedway. Briscoe and the team struggled early with a loose car and fell back to a far as 20th position, before picking up seven positions in the final 50 laps of the 250 lap scheduled race. The finish is Briscoe's second straight top-10 in the No. 60 and his third of the season.
"This was a great effort by the team today," said Briscoe. "We struggled with grip midway through the race, but once we got the car adjusted we had a pretty fast car. I made a mistake there at the end and spun out trying to stay on the lead lap and fortunately we were able to battle back from that and pick up our second straight top 10 in the No. 60 Ford."
Briscoe advanced to the final round of knockout qualifying and started the race in 12th position. He advanced to as far as eighth, before losing the handling on his Ford Mustang and falling as far back as 20th by lap 130. The team made massive adjustments during its second pit stop, bringing the No. 60 Ford Mustang to life as Briscoe started turning the fastest times on the racetrack.
He moved all the way to 13th by lap 177 and was running 12th and battling the leader to stay on the lead lap when he spun on lap 236. The car suffered minimal damage in the spin, but the No. 60 restarted 13th; one lap down when the field return to green with 10 laps remaining in regulation. Hard racing and two quick cautions put Briscoe back on the lead lap and in contention for a top 10 when the field went green for the final time in double overtime.
Briscoe was able to power his Ford Mustang inside the top-10 during the final seconds of the 257-lap race. Briscoe has finished inside the top 15 in five of his nine Xfinity starts this season. The No. 60 program returns to action next weekend at Watkins Glen, with Austin Cindric behind the wheel. Briscoe returns to the No. 60 the following week at Mid-Ohio.

Fred Guttenberg, the father of Jamie Guttenberg who was killed in the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, left, attempts to shake hands with President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, right, as he leaves for a lunch break while appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington to begin his confirmation hearing, Sept. 4, 2018. Kavanaugh did not shake his hand. Kavanaugh wrote in a response to questions from senators late Wednesday that he assumed the man had been a protester.
WASHINGTON — Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh says he would have shaken the hand of a school shooting victim's father during a break in last week's Senate hearing had he recognized him before being whisked away by security detail.
Kavanaugh's explanation for the encounter with Fred Guttenberg — captured in an Associated Press photo that went viral on social media — was among a 263-page response to written questions from senators on a range of issues including abortion, executive power and his personal finances.
Kavanaugh wrote that he assumed the man who approached him "and touched my arm" during a break at the Senate Judiciary Committee proceedings had been one of the many protesters in the hearing room. Guttenberg's 14-year-old daughter, Jaime, was among 17 people killed on Feb. 14 at Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida.
Kavanaugh's security detail ushered him out in a "split second," according to the judge's response to a written question from Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee. It was among 1,287 questions from senators, almost all from Democrats.
The flood of new documents comes as the Judiciary Committee is set to meet Thursday to consider Kavanaugh's confirmation, a vote that is expected to take place later this month.
Democrats are fighting Kavanaugh's nomination and decrying the process that Republicans used to compile his government records for review. Sen. Cory Booker, D-New Jersey, on Wednesday night released a new batch of committee confidential documents about Kavanaugh, repeating a tactic that could prompt a review from the Senate Ethics Committee.
The 28 new "committee confidential" documents from Booker are from Kavanaugh's time in the White House counsel's office during the George W. Bush administration and show his involvement in judicial nominations, including for some of the more controversial judges of the era.
Booker is being criticized by his GOP colleagues and outside groups for releasing the documents, which the Judiciary Committee is holding back on a confidential basis that makes them accessible only to senators. Last week, he released some documents that were later made public by the committee, but also others that weren't. Wednesday's disclosure brings the total to 75.
Booker said the documents about Kavanaugh's work "raise more serious and concerning questions" about his honesty during his testimony before the committee.
At the same time, the conservative group Judicial Watch delivered a letter Wednesday to the Senate Ethics Committee seeking an investigation. It says Booker violated Senate rules against disclosing confidential documents and could face Senate expulsion.
Booker "explicitly invited his expulsion from the Senate in his egregious violation of the rules and contempt for the rule of law and the Constitution," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said.
At issue has been the unprecedented process the Senate Judiciary Committee used for gathering documents on Kavanaugh, an appellate court judge who is President Donald Trump's nominee to replace retired Justice Anthony Kennedy on the court. The Senate is expected to vote on his confirmation by the end of the month.
Democrats have complained the process was a "sham," as Booker put it. It also excluded any documents Democrats wanted to see from Kavanaugh's time as Bush's staff secretary.
But Burck's team stood by the process, according to a letter to the committee Wednesday obtained by The Associated Press. They remain willing to review documents and consent to senators' requests for disclosure, "when appropriate," the letter said. Despite those commitments, the letter said one member of the committee has released more than 40 documents without consent, referring to Booker.
"Had we been consulted on these universally released documents, we would have consented to their public disclosure," the letter said.
White House spokesman Raj Shah said, "Despite the endless complaints from critics, the committee has received more material regarding Judge Kavanaugh's nomination than any nominee in history." He said senators have "more than enough information" to consider Kavanaugh's nomination.

In international human rights law, impunity refers to the failure to bring perpetrators of human rights violations to justice and, as such, itself constitutes a denial of the victims' right to justice and redress. Around the world, but particularly in countries where there have been mass crimes against civilians by the state or armed forces of a country, many human rights defenders work against impunity and for the rights of victims. The lack of accountability for attacks on HRDs is one of the biggest challenges facing the international human rights movement.

ConsumerLab.com finds quality of most nutrition powders and drinks high, but identifies five protein powders with excess sodium or cholesterol — Report Now Available Online
Posted: Apr. 27, 2005
WHITE PLAINS, NY — APRIL 27, 2005 — ConsumerLab.com has released its latest report on the quality of nutrition powders, shakes and drinks. These products are used for general nutrition, dieting, and meal-replacement and are frequently used by athletes and bodybuilders. All products in the report met their claims for protein, carbohydrates, and fats. However, five protein powders exceeded their labeled amounts of sodium or cholesterol. One product, for example, contained an extra 143 mg of sodium per serving, 51% more than claimed, delivering a total of 423 mg — about 30% of suggested daily intake of sodium for adults.
"These products are particularly popular among active individuals whom, research shows, often need more protein," said Daniel Fabricant, Assistant Director of Research at ConsumerLab.com and an NSCA-Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. "Before these products existed, getting more protein meant eating more animal products (meat, eggs, dairy) — increasing saturated fats and cholesterol in the diet, or combining large servings of incomplete proteins from legumes and grains — increasing carbohydrate and calorie intake.

Distinction (D) identity-other, Neuroscience
The DSRP of Creepy AI Images
The Staff at ST Daily
More posts by Staff
A set of haunting images has hit the internet. Not Freddy Kruger haunting, but somehow equally disturbing for our brain.
The text from one of the images reads:
"This picture is designed to give the viewer the simulated experience of having a stroke (particularly in the occipital lobe of the cerebral cortex, where visual perception occurs.) Everything looks hauntingly familiar but you just can't quote recognize anything."
It is unclear where these images came from (although some sleuths date them back to an anonymous post in 2019 on 4Chan). It is also unclear if this caption (attached to one of the images) is true. What does seem certain is that most of us experience some sense of unease in looking at them. The internet is collectively creeped out.
In an email with Live Science, Dr. Frank McAndrew, a professor of psychology at Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois, explains, "Trying to interpret an ambiguous image like this sparks uncertainty, which can lead to feeling "creeped-out" [1].
In the same article, Dr. Steven Schlozman of Harvard University explains: 'I think the creepiness comes from our brains' attempts at recognizing a pattern, zeroing in on that pattern, and then having the expected pattern continually disrupted by another recognizable pattern.'
Dr. Derek Cabrera of Cornell University explains a deeper issue.
"It is surely, as Dr. Schlozman describes, a pattern recognition conflict. But patterns are just repeating events over time so the patterns we are looking for are in the parts of the whole. As we begin to distinguish an object, we are simultaneously looking at the pattern of the parts that make up that object—that is, we are creating a part-whole system. When none of the parts of an object cohere, or worse when they are oscillating between coherent and then incoherent, then we get mixed signals. We think it's one thing, one part confirms it, but then we expect another part to confirm it and it doesn't."
Are these images so disturbing because they 'break' one of our most basic cognitive functions: Distinction making (D), or differentiating things from other things? Even another basic cognitive function, part-whole Systems (S) fails to provide us clues because none of the parts of any given object is clear enough to indicate what it is.
Of course, we are still able to make distinctions, just not ones that are easily grounded to our experience of things in the world. In the image above, there's clearly a room of some kind with a number of things in it. A big dark brown thing up front with some orange things. Some "panel things" with things lined up in rows, etc. We can clearly see things and distinguish them from other things in some cases, but we can't tell exactly what those things are.
Janelle Shane, an electrical engineer tells Live Science, "she believes the image was probably computer generated by artificial intelligence (AI) using a program called BigGan" [2]. Cabrera says that another cognitive function can give us clues that may help to decrease the creepiness: Perspective (P). "When we understand the perspective from which these images may have been made—that of an AI," Cabrera explains, "we are better able to understand why they appear as they do. The algorithm essentially attempted to create a system of objects that are on the edge of recognizable, but where no single portion completes the pattern. Thus, the AI identified that 'edge' and created an image of it."

Yemen – port situation
Friday, 23 August 2019 | 00:00
We would like to emphasise that the security situation and corresponding security advice to vessels calling at Yemeni ports may change at any time. Ship operators and their masters are advised to continuously evaluate the situation, carry out an assessment of the risks involved prior to entering or transiting Yemeni waters and take all necessary precautions to ensure the safety of the vessel and its crew.
Port situation
According to information received from our correspondent GAC, the port situation in Yemen as at 20 August 2019 is as follows:
Working: Aden, Rudhum Oil Exporting Terminal, Mukalla, Ash Shihr Oil Exporting Terminal, Nishtun, Saleef and Hodeidah
Closed: Mokha, Ras Isa Marine Terminal (Safer), Ras Isa Petroleum Products Reception Facility and Balhaf LNG Terminal
While the correspondent states that working ports are operating in a normal manner, it is worth noting that the capacity of working ports may be limited as there may be a lack of fuel supplies and other basic services. The correspondent also advice of the potential for cargo shortage/damage claims in Yemeni ports. All vessels attempting to enter Yemeni ports must also expect postponements and delays due the special entry conditions in force and multiple inspections carried out by the Saudi Arabian-led coalition.
Port entry conditions
Shipping companies or owners shipping commercial goods or services to ports not under the direct control of the Government of Yemen must submit a request for clearance together with the required documents to the UN Verification and Inspection Mechanism for Yemen (UNVIM). The clearance application must be submitted upon departure from the port of origin of their cargo and at least five days prior to arrival at the port of destination in Yemen. All bilateral humanitarian assistance (bulk, break-bulk or containerized) destined for Yemen is also subject to UNVIM and must be transhipped through Djibouti port, the location of UNVIM's Head Office, where it will be off-loaded and screened. For more details, please refer to the UNVIM website: https://www.vimye.org.
Vessels calling at ports that are under the control of the Government of Yemen must continue to apply for entry permissions through the Yemeni Ministry of Transportation using the form: Entry permission for commercial and relief ships to Yemeni ports. The form should be completed and sent by email to the Operations Unit of the Supreme Relief Committee at: [email protected] no less than a week before the vessel's entry/arrival.
Entry to Yemeni territorial waters will be granted only following an inspection by the naval forces of Saudi Arabian-led coalition. Once a vessel reaches the outskirts of Bab-el-Mandeb, some 3nm from Yemen's territorial waters, a notice of arrival must be called in by the Master on VHF channel 16. The naval forces of the Saudi Arabian-led coalition will then advice where the vessel should anchor pending completion of the inspection and approval of the port entry. Once the vessel is permitted to enter port, the Master must register the vessel's arrival with the port authorities (on VHF Channel 14 or 16) and will then be assigned an anchoring position until the berthing time is confirmed by the Harbour Master.
Members and clients calling at Yemeni ports are advised to take note of the above vessel clearance procedures and clarify the security situation and the status of a port's services well before arrival as availability of cranes, fuel, manpower, etc. may be limited.
The security situation is subject to rapid change and Members and clients are advised to warn their vessels' crews of the volatility of the situation and to carry out an assessment of the risks involved prior to entering or transiting Yemeni waters. It is important to make frequent checks with local sources of information, e.g. vessel's agent, Gard's correspondent, etc., to obtain the most up to date and reliable security information available at any given time. Information may also be obtained via Gulf Agency Co. Ltd.'s (GAC) website under "Hot Port News".
The conflict in Yemen has also introduced additional maritime security threats, other than piracy, to the Southern Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb. These include collateral damage due to the conflict between local groups and a potentially deliberate targeting of vessels. We would therefore like to emphasise the importance of closely following the guidance provided by the Interim Guidance on Maritime Security in the Southern Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb and the BMP5 when operating in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden region. Vessels should register with the Maritime Security Center Horn of Africa (MSCHOA) and report to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), to ensure that the military is aware of their presence in the region, and use the Maritime Security Transit Corridor (MSTC), which is a military established corridor upon which naval forces focus their presence and surveillance efforts.
We would like to thank Gard's correspondent Gulf Agency Co. Ltd. for their assistance in the preparation of this update.
The US International Port Security Program
In accordance with the latest Port Security Advisory (2-19) of 16 May 2019, the US Coast Guard (USCG) has determined that, with exception of Balhaf LNG Terminal, ports in Yemen are not maintaining effective anti-terrorism measures. The USCG has separate more stringent, security protocols in place for ships arriving to the US from Balhaf. Ships planning to arrive to the US from Balhaf should contact the relevant USCG Captain of the Port well in advance. However, at the time of writing, Balhaf Terminal is reported to be closed.
Under the US Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA), the USCG is required to assess the effectiveness of antiterrorism measures implemented in foreign ports from which US documented vessels and foreign vessels depart on a voyage to the US and other foreign ports believed to pose a security risk to international maritime commerce. As ports with ineffective antiterrorism measures are identified, this information is published in the Federal Register and the USCG will impose conditions of entry on vessels arriving in the US that visited such ports as one of their last five ports of call. Under the conditions of entry, affected vessels must:
implement measures as per the ship's security plan equivalent to security level 2 while in port in Yemen;
ensure that each access point to the ship is guarded and that the guards have total visibility of the exterior (both landside and waterside) of the vessel while it is in port in Yemen;
attempt to execute a declaration of security while in port in Yemen;
log all security actions in the ship's security records; and
report the actions taken to the relevant Coast Guard captain of the port prior to arrival in US waters.
Any affected vessel that does not meet the stipulated conditions may be denied entry into the US.
The complete list of ports considered to have ineffective antiterrorism measures along with the associated conditions of entry are included in the policy notices available on the US Coast Guard website: International Port Security Programs

South Texas community coming together to support high school seniors
Facebook Adopt-a-Senior pages have been popping up from across the country, and one local mom Ashley Calderon,wants to make sure high school seniors in the Coastal Bend have a special year despite so many milestones being canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This Facebook Adopt-a-Senior page gives the community a chance to adopt a senior and send them a simple thank you note or a gift card to lift their spirits.
This page caught on quickly. In just a few days more than 9,000 people from all over have joined the group. This has sparked interest from many area local businesses like Mira's Sports and More to adopt area seniors.
"A lot of these kids I have known since they were like 3 or even when they were born. Now they are seniors, and it hits home. I went to the adopt-a-senior page and decided we would do a 100. Within minutes, those 100 fulfilled so I jumped to 200, and those 200 fulfilled, and now, I don't even know the number, maybe 300, 400, 500," said owner of Mira's Sports and More Sandra Morales.
As for many area high school seniors, they love the idea that the community is behind them.
"My friend's mom actually adopted me, and I thought it was pretty cool, sending me money, love, and reassuring me everything is going to be okay, that they are here for me," said Tuloso-Midway senior Chence Hull.
"So it is just awesome seeing our spirits being lifted by receiving a basket with our favorite things or letters of encouragement. Some people even Venmo their senior money," said Calallen senior Chantel Karpesky.
"It is just amazing to see our community come together to support the seniors and show them that they are still loved and that there are people out there who care about them," said Tuloso-Midway senior London Ayala.
Despite so many milestones being missed due to the COVID-19 pandemic the class of 2020 says there is a lesson to be learned.
"I am looking at things more positively because you never know how valuable something is until you have lost it," said Hull.
"I say that the lesson here to learn is that you should count each moment as a blessing and never take for granted who you are surrounded by or who you are with," said Ayala.
"We are a family, we are a community, we are united, and when someone is hurt we all hurt, and we all come together. It is the beauty of Texas and the beauty of Corpus CHristi," said Morales.
A community coming together to show us all, whether big or small, kindness can go a long way.

Q: CSS background color for child container extending till parent container Need background color for child container extending till width of view point.  Properties needed should be applied to child container only.
I tried giving huge border to child container till parent container, but it did not work in high resolution screens.
Background color should applied only to the area of text.

.outer{
        height: auto;
        border: 1px solid red;
        width: 420px;
}
.inner{
        margin-left: 100px;
        margin-right: 100px;
        width: 200px;
        height: 300px;
        border: 1px solid green;
}

Need background color for child container extending till width of view point. properties needed have to be given only within child container.

Here is the jsfiddle link to better understand the scenario:
https://jsfiddle.net/5qp1a3um/

A: You can set a wrapper to contain the desired color like this:

.bg-wrapper{
    background: #54BCDF; /*change to desired color*/
}
.outer {
    height: auto;
    border: 1px solid red;
    width: 420px;
    margin: 0 auto;
}
.inner {
    margin-left: 100px;
    margin-right: 100px;
    width: 200px;
    height: 300px;
    border: 1px solid green;
}

Need background color for child container extending till width of view point. properties needed have to be given only within child container.

Bearing in mind that you can only change the css of child container you can try with this modification of the answer of Rick to extend the background:

.outer{
    height: auto;
    border: 1px solid red;
    width: 420px;
}
.inner{
    margin-left: 100px;
    margin-right: 100px;
    width: 200px;
    height: 300px;
    border: 1px solid green;
}
.inner:before {
  content: '';
  background:  #54BCDF; /*change to desired color*/
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  height: 300px;
  left: 0;
  z-index: -1;
}

    Need background color for child container extending till width of view point. properties needed have to be given only within child container.

But to center .outer I'm afraid that you'll have to add the style margin: 0 auto

A: Set the parent's position to relative:
.outer {
  position: relative;
}

Then create a pseudo-element on the child, which covers the extent of the parent (width and height 100%).
Give it a negative z-index so its background won't hide the content:
.inner:before {
  content: '';
  background: lightgreen;
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  left: 0;
  z-index: -1;
}

Fiddle 1

Update based on the fact that you can't style the parent
Set the child's position to relative:
.inner {
  position: relative;
}

The pseudo-element's width should now be 100% plus the difference between the child's and parent's widths.
You'll need to move the pseudo-element left to account for the child's left margin:
.inner:before {
  content: '';
  background: lightgreen;
  position: absolute;
  height: 100%;
  width: calc(100% + 220px);  /* parent's width - child's width = 220 */
  left: -100px;               /* account for left margin */
  z-index: -1;
}

Fiddle 2

A: Not completely sure if I understand what you are trying to do, but I gave it a shot.
In the CSS if you change the margin to padding, then any background color on the child element will extend to the parent. background color is includes the padding but not the margin.
I also had to bump up the width of the child 20px for it to fill properly.
Updated fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/5qp1a3um/1/
.inner{
    padding-left: 100px;
    padding-right: 100px;
    background-color: blue;
    width: 220px;
    height: 300px;
    border: 1px solid green;
}

A: Use padding instead of margin, that's the right way to do it.
padding: 0 100px;

Topic : "[CRIT] Some comic coloring going on here"
Hey, I posted the beginnings of this a week or so ago, post long since buried so I'm starting a new thread (btw, how long since the last reply would you stop posting to a thread because we all know how much we don't enjoy seeing a thread from half a year ago pop up for no reason).
and here's one where I lightened up the colors a bit since the first really drowns out Mad's pencils.
Hopefully I'll get a few comments before I go ahead and finish the last panel on the page...wanna hear what people think now incase there's something I can incorporate into that last section.
Looks really good. I'm not sure if light from the moon would be that hard though. Personal preference perhaps. Anyways, good stuff man!
Hey thanks for the comments guys...actually didn't expect to get any since I posted this in the middle of the night. I think I may fool around with the effect of the moon a bit, there's more glow than I think I really wanted going on. I'm thinking of upping the contrast on Superman as well...he's not looking like he's in the dark or maybe I just need to darken him more...dunno, I'll play around with it. Does the background in the first panel read ok though? I fear I might've painted in too much of it to allow it to stay in the background.
Anyway, if anybody else has some comments I'd like to hear them as well.
I was going to say that I thought the moon was too bright. It becomes the focus of that panel, and I'm sure that it's not supposed to be. I think you should try to bring Batman into the foreground more in the second panel. Superman's blue outfit is bringing him out alot more than Batman is. Perhaps finishing coloring the buildings in that panel will seperate batman and the background more. But now with the large amount of black and contrasting against the moon and superman, he's being pushed back.
I really like the first panel, I have no suggestions.
The Groove is in the Heart!

Q: The best / quick way to lean for writing the PHP extension in C I'm leaning to write some minor PHP extension in C for security purpose.
Currently, I can generate the extension use the ext_skel and can separate the source code into multiple files, each file for a class and combine them into the extension.
However currently I stuck on how to use the PHP variable / class / function inside the C code suck as using the GET / POST / SERVER / SESSION, call a php native function likes str_replace or initial a PHP class likes PDO and its methods.
I know that we must to call the C function (from the PHP source) but I don't know to have the best / quick way to find and use them or any documentation to describe using them in the C.
For example, I want to get the $__SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], I must to use the SG(request_info).request_uri from SAPI.h
But I must to google a lot for this one.
Can you instruct me how to find this one with bester way?

Q: Odata V4 routing prefix and batch processing syncfusion I am using Syncfusion's tools for scheduling. The scheduler is talking to an odata endpoint.

So I am getting a successful (200) POST in my headers but the response is a 404. I am very confused as to what is occuring. It seems like the controller is not processing the batch commands. Specifically the POST and PATCH commands in the payload body. Thanks in advance for your help.
In the dev tools (CHROME) this is what I am seeing:

VIPee: Rare 2,700-Year-Old Private Toilet Unearthed In Ancient Royal Palace
Solo toilet could only have been afforded by the mega-wealthy, say experts.
By Nicky Blackburn October 5, 2021
The rare stone toilet, estimated to be 2,700 years old, was most likely used by one of the dignitaries of Jerusalem. (Yoli Schwartz, Israel Antiquities Authority Authority)
A rare private toilet, part of an ancient royal estate from the 7th century B.C. discovered on the Armon Hanatziv promenade in Jerusalem, is to be presented to the public Oct. 6.
The toilet cubicle was uncovered in a dig by the Israel Antiquities Authority and the City of David about two years ago in the remains of a magnificent building that overlooked the City of David and the Temple Mount.
The cubicle was hewn as a rectangular-shaped cabin, with a carved toilet, which stood over a deep-hewn septic tank. Made of limestone, the toilet is designed for comfortable sitting, with a hole in the center.

"A private toilet cubicle was very rare in antiquity, and only a few were found to date, most of them in the City of David," said Yaakov Billig, director of the excavation on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority.
"In fact, only the rich could afford toilets. A thousand years later, the Mishnah and the Talmud raised various criteria that defined a rich person, and Rabbi Yossi suggested that to be rich is "to have the toilet next to his table."

Beneath the toilet, a septic tank was also discovered, containing a large amount of pottery from the First Temple Period and animal bones. Archeologists collected the finds and hope to learn more about the lifestyles and diet of the First Temple people, as well as ancient diseases.
During the excavation, impressive architectural items were discovered, including stone capitals designed by an artist, that are done in a style typical to the days of the First Temple, and small architectural columns that served as railings for windows.

Archeologists also identified evidence that a garden with ornamental trees, fruit trees and aquatic plants was planted near the toilet cubicle. All of these allow researchers to re-create a picture of an extensive and lush mansion — a magnificent palace from the days of the First Temple, that stood on the site.
"It is fascinating to see how something that is obvious to us today, such as toilets, was a luxury item during the reign of the kings of Judah," said Eli Eskosido, director of the Israel Antiquities Authority. "One can only imagine the breathtaking view."

The discovery is to be presented on Oct. 6 at a two-day conference called "Innovations in the Archaeology of Jerusalem and its Surroundings," in Jerusalem and on Zoom.
The new tourist complex at Armon Hanatziv is the result of a collaboration between the City of David, the Ministry of Tourism, the Jerusalem Municipality, the Ministry of Jerusalem Affairs and the Jewish National Fund.

This article explores the way in which you see yourself positioned in the cosmos and how that defines who you are and how you see the world around you.
We live on a wondrous planet spinning around an amazing solar system. Everything you see in our system, the sun, planets, Earth, me, and you were all created and formed from dust. Yet Earth is astonishingly beautiful and complex. Our oceans are enormous. Our weather is incredible and ever changing. Our mountains are giants and our landscapes are breathtaking.
I am fascinated by how the world in which we live was created by God, how it moves, how it is shaped, and how the physics that governs our world also shapes other worlds in the universe. The ways in which we experience life here on Earth connects us with everything else in the universe – from our solar system to the moving stars in the night sky.
It's an amazing time in which we live, because we're the only beings that have the capability to explain who we are and our position in the universe.
My perspective, the way in which I see myself, on our planet, in the universe, defines how I see the world around me. Similarly, the way in which I see myself positioned spiritually in the cosmos defines much of who I am.
When the Bible was written, people thought that the Earth was in the center of the universe, and that it was flat like a round disk, and if you went too far out to sea, you'd fall off the edge. We know better now.
People used to thank God for the sun rising over the Earth, and for the Sun setting below the Earth, and its apparent movement across the sky. But the movement of the sun is caused by our planet spinning through space. What we see is different from what's actually taking place. The sun does not revolve around the Earth. It's the other way around.
Our planet is a sphere, a ball of rock.
It rotates on its axis every 24 hours, and we observe night and day.
It orbits around the sun, and we experience a year.
It's tilted at 23 degrees, and we experience seasons.
And every planet in our solar system has it's own patterns, each orbiting around the sun.
Mercury is the fastest at 125,000 mph around the sun and completes an orbit in just 88 days.
Venus spins on its axis very slowly. It takes longer for Venus to spin around once on its axis than it does to orbit the sun. So, on Venus, a day is longer than a year.
Jupiter takes 12 years to orbit the sun.
Neptune has completed only one orbit since it was discovered in 1846.
Our ancestors didn't know all of these beautiful patterns, rhythms, and order of the solar system. When our ancestors looked up into the night sky, they saw tiny bright lights, and imagined images and figures. And they used the stars to tell stories of creation, life, and their position in the cosmos. Today, we tend not to look up at the stars in the majestic sky anymore. We've lost our connection to the stars and other planets.
When our ancestors looked up at the night sky, it told them one thing – they were at the center of the universe. If you look up at the northern night sky, you'll see a star called Polaris, the North Star. The cup of the Big Dipper points to Polaris, which is at the end of the handle of the Little Dipper. The North Star is almost in line with the Earth's celestial pole. And when you stare at the North Star at night, all of the other stars rotate through the night sky around that point. So, it looks like the entire universe rotates around the Earth, that the Earth is apparently the center of the universe. And that's what everyone, our ancestors, thought for thousands of years. It looked obvious. But they were wrong.
To really understand the position of the Earth in the solar system, we have to look at Mars. When you plot a chart of the position of Mars traveling across the night sky, you'll notice that it doesn't move in a straight line across the nighttime sky, but changes direction and loops back on itself. This retrograde motion is impossible to explain, if you think Earth is at the center of the universe. It can only be explained when you position the sun at the center, and the Earth as one of many other celestial bodies orbiting the sun.
Mars Retrograde Motion. NASA. 2008.
Understanding this retrograde motion was a great achievement in understanding our position in the solar system and the beautiful patterns and order of universe.
A couple thousand years ago, a man named Paul had a similar breakthrough achievement in understanding our spiritual position in the cosmos. And he taught others about it. And he wrote those teachings down for us to read, learn from, and apply to our lives. Let's take a look at Ephesians 3 in the King James Version.
About 50 AD, a man named Paul wrote about the most fundamental change in our relationship with God. He revealed the greatest spiritual truth that anyone could ever know. It was one of the greatest mysteries of the world. And it triggered a fundamental change in humanity's relationship with God - a relationship in which believing, rather than behavior, became the key to a more than abundant life.
Paul was born Jewish. He lived in Tarsus, which is now Turkey. He lived within the Roman Empire. He traveled to Jerusalem, Asia, Greece, and Rome. And he taught and wrote. Paul wrote 13 letters. He never met Jesus, the man, but met his friends and disciples, and for many years, Paul actually had a job to hunt and persecute them. He grew up under Roman law, and he knew the Jewish law or Law of Moses (Old Testament) very well.
Under Jewish Law, good behavior included what was/is called "indulgences," where you essentially pay for God's love. The more money you pay the church, the more of God's love you receive. This religious dogma limited people of the past. But, because of men like Paul, we now know better.
That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel.
Doesn't seem like much, but, back then, it was a shocking, blasphemous statement.
This was a great mystery revealed -- that we are to be of the same body (both Judean and Gentile). Paul revealed to the folks who lived back in those days that everyone could be of the same family, one new body, a new spiritual family body, both Judeans and Gentiles, both the "haves" and the "have nots," both the rich and the poor. All believers in that body are "fellow heirs" of all that God has made available to us. And we can "partake" of God's "promises."
"Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints, to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory."
Paul writes this to help reveal the great mystery in more detail. And it's all about love.
Every believer can have Christ in him or her, which is referring to the gift of holy spirit. Holy spirit is a gift from God to every believer. And it's given unconditionally. "Christ in you" in the bible means the love of God in the renewed mind in manifestation. So, where the bible says "God in Christ in you," that means that you can have the gift of holy spirit in you, the unconditional love of and from God, held in your mind (renewed mind) and manifested (applied) in your life.
How can God be in your mind? Well, you have to understand what God is, and what God is not. God is not a man. God is not an old man with curly hair floating in the clouds, waving his finger, and doing good and bad things. That's a bit delusional. You might as well believe in Poseidon. Actually, God is what the bible says it is. God is spirit, love, light, energy, everywhere, powerful.
The Buddha said, "The mind is everything. What you think, you become." That's so true.
That's how every believer can have the love of God in the renewed mind in manifestation. It's all about believing. And it starts with your mind.
That's what Paul revealed. That's what Paul taught and wrote for us to read today. Paul revealed a spiritual truth that helps us understand our spiritual position with God and our relation with others.
So, in this article, we learned a little bit about our position in the universe and our relationship with God. We know a bit more than our ancestors did. The retrograde motion of Mars helps us position ourselves in the universe. And Paul revealed a great spiritual truth that also helps position ourselves as the children of God who have the unconditional love of God held in our renewed minds and manifested in our lives.
You're positioned just right. Stay where you are.
Chopping wood (even if it's just making kindling) for your fireplace is a masculine, manly thing. Yes. Manly.
Chopping wood in the winter is not every man's thing. It sure is mine.

The purpose of this Consultation Process is to provide the public with an opportunity to examine the objectives, policies and actions outlined in the Draft Strategy and to suggest changes as appropriate.
The Mayor of Fingal, Councillor David Healy, said: "The revision of Fingal's Tree Strategy Forest of Fingal is an indication of the Council's continued commitment to looking after one of its most important natural resources and assets, its trees. Trees enhance our citizens' Health and Wellbeing and Quality of Life and will help to secure a sustainable future in Fingal."
Fingal County Council manages approximately 2,000 Hectares of Public Open Space and many public parks in the county have significant stands of woodland framing important and often iconic landscapes. Fingal also has approximately 70,000 trees located in streets and residential open spaces, most of which are maintained by the local authority.
Fingal County Council Chief Executive AnnMarie Farrelly said: "The Council recognises how significant urban trees and green space have helped to shape the landscape of towns and villages across the county and I hope people will take the opportunity to read it over the coming months and suggest changes where they feel they need to be made."
The Draft Tree Strategy document has been prepared in the context of the Council's Climate Change Action Plan 2019-2024, Biodiversity Action Plan and Open Space Strategy.

ELSTREE School dug deep into its pockets and raised an impressive £1,280 in support of victims of the Nepal earthquake at a charity hockey match held recently.
The school has a close link with charities in Nepal through its head of geography, Jenny Pinder, whose friend's village was left devastated by the quake.
The Woolhampton school did its part to help when six teams battled it out for the Elstree Family Hockey Tournament trophy at the same time as raising funds.
Miss Pinder said: "I was thoroughly taken back by the amount that we raised.
"This will provide books, pens and paper for all of the children in the village – an amazing achievement.
Parents Hen Horton and Melissa Owston, who organised the teams for the day, said they were thrilled with the final tally and thanked the school and the families who supported the event.

Selman Abraham Waksman (ur. 22 lipca 1888 w Nowej Pryłuce, zm. 16 sierpnia 1973 w Hyannis) – amerykański mikrobiolog, pochodzący z Ukrainy, laureat Nagrody Nobla w dziedzinie fizjologii lub medycyny.

Urodził się w Nowej Pryłuce, znajdującej się wówczas na terenie Imperium Rosyjskiego, obecnie na Ukrainie. Początkowo pobierał lekcje od prywatnych nauczycieli, potem uczęszczał do szkół w Odessie. W 1910 ukończył V Gimnazjum w Odessie, a wkrótce potem wyjechał do Stanów Zjednoczonych.

W Stanach Zjednoczonych uzyskał państwowe stypendium, które pozwoliło mu wstąpić, jesienią 1911, na Rutgers College w New Brunswick. W 1915 uzyskał tam B.Sc. w dziedzinie rolnictwa, po czym rozpoczął pracę jako asystent badawczy w zespole Jacoba G. Lipmana, zajmującego się mikrobiologią gleb w New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station. Równocześnie kontynuował studia, w 1916 uzyskał tytuł magistra w Rutgers College, a w 1918 stopień doktora biochemii na Uniwersytecie Kalifornijskim w Berkeley. W 1916 uzyskał obywatelstwo amerykańskie

Po uzyskaniu doktoratu powrócił na Uniwersytet Rutgersa jako wykładowca mikrobiologii gleb, w 1925 uzyskał tytuł Associate Professor, a w 1930 tytuł profesora. W 1940, kiedy na uczelni powstał Zakład Mikrobiologii, został jego kierownikiem, a w 1949 dyrektorem Instytutu Mikrobiologii.

Jego badanie nad promieniowcami pozwoliły na uzyskanie szeregu antybiotyków (tego terminu Waksman użył jako pierwszy w 1941). W 1940, wraz ze swoim doktorantem H. Boydem Woodruffem, wyizolował z bakterii glebowych daktynomycynę – antybiotyk, który był efektywny w zwalczaniu zarówno bakterii Gram-dodatnich, jak i Gram-ujemnych, w tym prątków gruźlicy, ale był równocześnie silnie toksyczny dla zwierząt, którym go podawano. W 1944, wraz ze swoimi doktorantami, Albertem Schatzem i Elizabeth Bugie, opublikował artykuł opisujący odkrycie streptomycyny, wyizolowanej ze szczepu promieniowca Streptomyces griseus. W 1948 uzyskał neomycynę.

W 1952 otrzymał Nagrodę Nobla w dziedzinie fizjologii lub medycyny, za odkrycie streptomycyny, pierwszego antybiotyku efektywnego przeciw gruźlicy.
